It's dumb with any player, let alone TO.
Arguing that you would have had such-and-such a record if this play had gone that way or that one went this way is just as equally pointless. Often times football is a game of chance, inches, and which way the ball bounces. Every single team in the NFL could argue that "Well, had we just gotten that play right or had this field goal go this way, then we would've made it." You're blinded by your love for the Cowboys and your line of reasoning would lead to justifying all 32 teams as Super Bowl winners last year.
A Super Bowl champion team is one that is talented, of course. But they're also the one that can overcome the missed field goal, busted play, etc. That's what the game is really about - how is your team going to overcome the adversity, not what excuses can we make to justify whatever random record you pull out of your ass.

It reminds me of my friend who projected Larry Johnson's stats over 16 games...leaving his numbers from the first 7 games where he backed up Holmes. That's pretty retarded.
